COMING EVENTS ON THE TAPIS.

What a woman should aim at in CONVEX
sation Is not only to entertain by giving
her own thoughts, but at the same time
to draw out those of others, especially the
bashful and particularly bashful men, says
a writer in the Philadelphia Times. Moth
ing pleases a man so much, nothing gives
him such an idea of his superiority as to
allow him an opportunity Of imparting in
formation, though he may not have pene-
tration enough to discern that it is the
tact of the woman that entices him into
talking about what perhaps he knows less
than she. .-...
remember hearing it remarked OF Mrs.
Cleveland that she was charming CONVEX
sationalist, because she always chose those
topics which she knew would interest 9TH
ers, and in this lies the whole secret Of the
art of conversing. A celebrated French
woman, who had neither wealth, beauty
nor position to elevate her in social circles,
rose to the highest rank among the court,
Turing the latter days of royalty, simply
by her art of pleasing in her conversation.
Brilliancy in conversation is not the essen
tial characteristic.
Some of the most charming takers are
ANYTHING but witty or learned; but the
truth is we love to hear those speak who
really feel what they say, whose words are
choice without being studied, and natural
and easy without being childish or slangy.
We love to listen to those whose minds,
whose nobility of character, whose purity
of soul shines in their conversation, and
we feel that words are but the personihca-
ton of the beauty within.
As the weather becomes cooler lawn ten
mis- increases in favor among our society
people, and several parties have occurred
the past week, and they were highly en-
oyable in many ways. One party spent
the afternoon at tennis, took supper at
Stamm,s, then spent the balance of the
evening until the motor came in at the
park bowling alleys playing the fascinating
and healthful game. OF course all felt
pretty tired and slept well, but it was a
day spent to good advantage, both from a
social and physical point of view. 1t Is
very probable that there will be many
more ouch parties. AS the young ladies
will miss tennis and bowling during the cool
season, they are beginning to think OF some
light exercise for the winter months, and
none seems to be more to their taste than
gympastic exercise. The young gentle
men of the city have fine gymnasium,
supplied with all the latest health-giving
apparatus, and it will not be in bad taste
to recall to the mind Of the Board Of Di-
rectors of the gymnasium that when the
institution was first opened they talked
very seriously of having ladies day"
each week, when the lady friends of the
members could have the gymnasium all to
themselves. The girls would no doubt ac-
cept such hospitality on the part OF their
young gentlemen friends with many feel
ings of gratitude, and the boys would do
well to think over the matter.
The past week was an improvement on
the previous one in the way Of social events
and the coming one promises 10 also be
quite lively, with several parties already on
the tapis.
The country folks enjoyed delightful
picnic at the park Friday evening, which
was largely attended. The afternoon was
spent in pleasant manner and at 9 o'clock
a bountiful supper was partaken OF, after
which the balance ofthe evening was pleas
antly spent in the bowling alleys.
Last Thursday morning at 10 o'clock
Mr.. De Warren H. Reynolds, prominent
young attorney of the Cumberland bar,
and Miss Sallie A. White, second daughter
of the late Andrew White of this city, were
married at st. Mathews P, E. church, the
rector. Rev. r. X. Swope, officiating. The
ushers were Messrs. VIM. M. McKaig and
William Pearre, of Cumberland, and
Messrs. Walter Bell and Charles Tallman,
of this city. The wedding was a quiet one,
only the intimate friends of the high
contracting parties being present. Miss
Mary Wilde presided at the organ
and played the wedding march,
followed by a soft, touching melody
during the ceremony. The bride was at
tired in becoming travelling costume Of
myrtle green, with tan MORE silk trim
mings and hat to match, while the groom
and ushers wore dark suits. At the con-
clusion of the ceremony a brief, informal
reception was held in the church parlors,
after which quite number of the friends
accompanied Mr.. aud Mrs. Reynolds to
the C. & P. depot, over which road they
left at 11:17 on an Eastern bridal tour of
several weeks. They were the recipients
of countless good wishes and congratula-
lions and number of handsome presents.
They will reside in CumberlaDd after re-
turning from thsiYStrip.
Among the pleasant events Of the past
week was bowling party at the park, on
Thursday evening, under the chaperonage
of Mrs. DR.. Geo. Baird. The party was

Messrs. Howard Simpson, Will Irwin,

returning on the last motor, and after
an elegant supper at Ziegenfelder's, de-
parted for their respective homes very high
ly pleased with the evenings entertain
ment.
